This might be the ticket, I really do not want to shell out 228 bucks for one weather strip.

Hello all, My 2017 VW GTI has this weather seal along the top edge of the door. Unfortunately the sun has gotten to it over the years and the seal no longer presses against the body of the car. Letting in water during heavy rain fall, I've tried pulling back on the weather stripping and it's...

Just replaced the wastegate on this is20, no shaft play at all and didn't seem to have any oil in the inlet pipe.

So there is a lot of vacuum when I remove the oil cap, the idle goes up as well. Just ordered a new pcv, I went with a vaico from fcpeuro.com. We'll see if that fixes it, I have been seeing a lot of others reporting the blue smoke on startup as well.

Hello all, I have had my 2017 vw gti for about 60k miles, bought cpo at 34k and have noticed the valve seals leaking. Getting puffs of blue smoke at start up while idling hot, has gotten a little worse over the years. I'm at 90k miles now, change the oil every 5k miles with 5w40 oil. I only...

At-205 is a rubber sweller, I use it on my rubber bushings that creak

I have some at 205 and shin etsu grease, do you think silglyde is best?

Looking for some dry lubricant for my 2017 Volkswagen Gti's window channels. The rubber is binding and rubbing when rising, and also looking for something to stop the window creaking when up against the felt strip. Seeing a lot of recommendation for a dry lube, but looking for what's best.

Thanks, all. I will make the drive to pick up a filter from the local dealer.

Hello all, Coming back to post about a new vehicle is like Christmas. I couldn't find much information aside from the other VW forums I follow for this platform, I currently have a 2017 VW GTI with the Gen3 EA888 engine. It calls for 5w/40 before VW changed the spec to 0w/20 in the later year...

I live in Jersey City now, so it's all stop and go. Rarely go on the highway for anything, so I measure it by my tank to empty, usually I'll grab like 220 to the tank driving around in the city.

I admit, I'm being lazy and I'm using the MPG readout on the car. But I'm due for a fill up soon, I'll hand calculate and see if there is any major difference

Currently own a MK7 GTI with direct injection, bought the car pre-owned at 34k miles and it seems like the prior leaseholder took it in for every scheduled visit. I've only ran fuel injection cleaner through a tank twice now and I'm at 56k miles. Just recently filled up with some Gumout Regane...

I'm just gonna go ahead and order netural cure silicone

Thanks, all!

How about Permatex Ultra Blue? I've looked the TDS report on Permatex's website and it doesn't list Acetic, also states that it's non-corrosive. Should I just go with a neutral silicone instead?

Recently my 2017 VW GTI started leaking through the rear speaker, apparently it is a problem with the MK7 platforms due to the seal behind the speaker deteriorating over time. It is a CPO but I rather just fix it myself than take it to the dealer. Basically the speaker has a rubber/foam gasket...

Thanks, all. I will take it this was made in June of 2021.

Right, I searched and saw that. However, I am stumped if this battery was manufactured in 2011 or 2021. The 06 (June) I got but 1 is stumping me.

Hi all, Trying to figure out the date code on my AGM AC Delco Battery. Just purchased this and was curious to as when it was made. G 061R is the date code. I'm guessing June 2021? Couldn't confirm if 1 is 2001, 2011 or 2021
